Community life depends on forest resources so it is necessary to maintain and increase the potential of the area for sustainable management, structure and composition The diversity of vegetation found in an area is principally a reflection of the interaction between various environmental factors and can change due to human activities.The purpose of this study is to determine the preferences and motivations of the community towards the composition of vegetation types and land use for community life. The method used is quantitative and qualitative analysis of the data from questionnaires, in-depth interviews and field observations. Based on the results of the analysis and field observations, the results are:Communities around the Ternate-Tidore KPHL area have a tendency to choose a planting model with an agoforestry pattern, namely utilizing yards with the highest percentage of 17% on Ternate Island, which can have a good impact on the environment, economy, and social community to improve community welfare.  There are types of vegetation in the selected area that have the Important Value Index with the highest percentage in various classes of stands, including the Angsana species with INP (58,99%) for tree class, type of kluwih with INP (32.50%) on the pole class, type Musa balbisiana (Forest Banana) with an INP value of (50.15%) in the sapling class and in the seedling class, there are buston ferns with an INP Significant Value Index of (52.90%), and the level of diversity of vegetation types found in forest areas is found at the vegetation type at the seedling level. with a range of (1<H<3) which is the medium category with a value of (1.72), the diversity index of sapling vegetation species whose diversity is in the medium category is (H<3) with a value of (2.00), then the type of pole vegetation is also included the medium category with a value of (2.51) and tree-level vegetation types with a diversity index range also included in the medium category with a value of (1.89).
